The generation and development of the entire images are both an ideal personality construction process and a reshape about national ideology to public opinion, So that "Heroes values" can be beyond the "personal values" and become a national public opinion and propaganda tool for political purposes. However, only judging the values of the national heroes by a constructing perspective can it be a peep through a tube at a leopard.
